"excuse me sir/madam, I would like to help you by getting a discount, and I will in fact keep that discount and yes this is the 10th time today that I am doing it"
Also, the store will not even let you pay full price:
"sir did you forget your card, or do you want to apply for another one"
so it's apples and oranges.
and the CRA example does not imply that there are taxable consequences, only that if the wrong person sees the clerk committing wire fraud and laundering points (yeah i said it, dirty points).... there could be a problem, however small that chance is.
it's not a wild accusation...it's fraud, but very unlikely that anything comes of it.
